I'm not actually sure what the argument is really about. Jonny is disadvantaged by 1% on the left. With Matt and Adama as the right wing, the TEAM is advantaged by a lot larger percentage. It's about the team, not the individual.

The argument is that Alan said 'Jonny is not a right sided player'. Which is completely and utterly wrong. As has already been said.

Can you please stop with this aggression towards Alan please. You are acting like a child because someone has disagreed with you.

Aggression? Fine, no problem. Next time you call someone out for being wrong (something you never do?) I'll ask you to stop acting like a child. I've a feeling I'll be asking it a lot more of you than you will of me.

If you and everyone else can do it without swearing and being condescending towards him at every opportunity you'll be fine and I won't have to pipe up.

As a mod of this place it seems he has some kind of target on his back every time he has an opinion and I'm getting sick of it. Tbf it's not just you either, it's others as well.

I'm not a mod.

And I think you'll find that I've tried doing the 'normal' way only for Alan, the fan who lives 3,000 miles away and has never even been to a single game i his life to tell me I'm wrong. Let's see:

But don't let those stats stop you.

If you think I'm going to take that as being put in my place and not respond to that condescending shit then put me on ignore and make your life a lot less stressful. Get over yourself man, if you're that easily offended get on Net Mums.

Responding to that is fine, it's the constant condescending, belittling tone, coupled with swearing at him is what I take exception to. Not just because of this occasion but because it's a pattern that keeps repeating and it isn't fair on him.

This victimhood thing is nonsense, Alan has told me to fuck off plenty of times but never gets pulled up. Getting on the mod high horse is a bit shit tbh.

I haven't responded to Alan since the 1st of September. Find the last time before that that I responded to him. Post all of the examples that prove it's 'constant'. Seeing as it's so constant it shouldn't take you long.

Hurry up Bear, I haven't got all night. I mean you should have had a string of examples by now surely.

In this case I do have to side with Johnny, ironically enough. I have taken issue with his posts in the past and not always responded to them in a way I'm particularly proud of.

If anyone can claim that I've flown off the handle at them before, it's probably Johnny.

Fair play Alan. I don't think you're any kind of shrinking violet and give as good as you get. i have no idea if you hit the report button and Bear stepped in on his white Shetland pony or not but I can't image you did.

I always thought Dennis Irwin was a LB, personally never saw him play anywhere else

Plenty of players play on their Ďwrongí side - might disadvantage them in some way, but they get advantages in other ways.

Man U went through a number of years of playing one of Irwin/G Neville; P Neville/Irwin; P Neville/G Neville as their full backs depending on which Ferguson felt like at the time - basically the Nevilles always played on "their" side, whilst Irwin swapped around.

For us as was said, Irwin played the vast majority of the time at right back. Wearing 8. <shudder>

That’s a fucking awful article. I usually like to give people a chance, but that’s terribly written.

Who actually writes shit like this:

By gum. that's a cracking article. Adama Traore at centre forward. Plenty of us have said we need a big man up top and clearly Adama is the man! Next week, Joe identifies Ruben Vinagre as our snotter in midfield...

Prediction 24th January: 14 games to go: 6 wins, 5 draws, 3 defeats - final points 57 when the league finishes in May 2023...

We signed him when Celta were playing him at LB. He was signed for Atletico to replace Filipe Luis at LB. We bought him to play LWB.

He started out as a RB but he's now a left sided player. Similarly I wouldn't call Stephen Ward a striker any more.

He's right footed and can play either side. He's played more of his career on the left now so I class him as a LB/LWB, even though his natural position was RB.

It was more that I was trying to have a little giggle with Alan, no dig intended. I just thought he'd like to see what our new reporter thought although his knowledge could be written down on the back of a stamp!

Jonnys movement and intelligence is first class. Plus defensively he is good in the tackle with either foot and solid positionally. His weakness is attacking positions. But this is unsurprising for a career fullback on his weak side.

Unfortunately when he gets in attacking positions he often gets forced down the line and he canít really cross with his left foot (the other wingbacks canít really do it with their strong foot tbf). He also gets in situation where he can cut inside but he canít whip it in so itís always high and floaty which is easy for the keeper to pluck. Plus heís had a few opportunities to take shots which he either refuses or puts in the stands.

Fortunately with Jota in the team though they combine really well and he takes players away and Jota takes the majority of the attacking burden.
